A point to point 8-day French Alps trail run tour taking in highlights of the French section of Grande Traversée des Alpes (GR5). Includes 6 days of running, 130km total distance, 9,000m of climbing, too many passes and peaks to name, beautiful French/Swiss Villages and, of course, Chamonix, the world’s much celebrated trail running Mecca and home to UTMB. And cheese. Lots of cheese.
25-30km days at your own pace (run when you can, hike fast when you can’t). Stay in a mix of traditional refuge’s (mountain huts) and hotels and celebrate in Chamonix with thermal baths and celebratory dinner.
